Make it known on the Discussion Forum! One of the most common discussions on this site is, unsurprisingly, about the possible existence of any gods. "Does God Exist?" is a common topic not just around here, but all over. Most assert that some god definitely exists, a few question that claim, and fewer still aggressively assert the opposite. In all such discussions, you will find the same basic arguments repeated over and over. There is a limited number of arguments offered for and against the existence of gods, although there are certainly variations and ways to make old arguments look new. For that reason, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the most common - this will make it easier to deal with them when you encounter them. What is God?

Without having those in place, you're much more likely to just talk in circles and never get anywhere. Highlights: •  Does God Matter? •  Burden of Proof •  Why Debate God?

Arguments against Gods Review of various arguments commonly used to deny the existence of gods. None of them can disprove the existence of all possible gods, but they can be used to question the existence of very specific gods.
